Compaq Presario V2417AU for $797 at Harvey Norman
scotty on 12/01/2006 at 10:27 am, filed under UncategorizedSaw the Harvey Norman ads on Southern Courier yesterday, selling Compaq Presario V2417AU for merely AUD$796, after $200 cash back from Compaq/HP. Apparently this cash back lasts until 31st January by checking different resellers.
